early age.

artists such as Thin Lizzy, Blue Murder, Whitesnake ,Ted Nugent, Neal Schon
and Soul SirkUS, Lynch Mob, as well as diverse artists such as Dolores O’Riordan from
the Cranberries. He is currently touring with The Dead Daisies.

Marco lives in Los Angeles and when he´s not touring he can often be
found playing local jazz clubs with Joey Heredia and Renato Neto and other great musicians.

Marco tells his story on The Double Stop

Marco Mendoza shares his story of addiction and recovery. Now sober 26 years, he reflects on his life journey. From getting married at 16, and a father by twenty, to being homeless and addicted to drugs – he doesn’t hold back.

We also talk about his music career post recovery – and he explains the delicate dance of being in bands with David Coverdale and John Sykes at the same time, and his attempts to bring them back together (hint: he got VERY close).
